Discover boutique hotels in Adelboden, Switzerland
1,350m above sea level, in the mountainous heart of the Bernese Oberland, Adelboden is a village-sized cluster of gingerbread-house wooden chalets surrounded by pine trees and flanked by snow-capped peaks. Switzerland’s scenery doesn’t get more dramatic than this craggy landscape of plunging valleys and dizzying heights. Criss-crossed by cable cars and ski lifts, the picturesque resort town is a haven for snowsports fanatics and Alpine adventurers, and in summer, when a carpet of greenery covers the slopes, Adelboden becomes the destination of choice for hilltop hikers, spa-seekers and lonely goatherds alike.
When to go
Adelboden is an attractive destination all year round, but if you’re going for the ski scene, visit between December and March. Some slopes may be still closed in early December, but if you want to avoid the ski-season crowds, it’s the ideal time to visit. The summer months of June, July and August tend to be warm, bright and rainy.
